There fore, in selling to cash buyers, or in consigning for sale in the large mar kets, it is essential that quality be good, grading uniform, and the ap pearance of the package attractive both to the trade and to the ultimate buyer, if we are to get the best possible returns. Many changes in marketing condi tions have taken place during the past ten or fifteen years. I am won dering if growers in the Carolines and Virginia have kept up with these changes and are successfully meet ing new conditions. .The day has long since passed when our strawberries, lettuce, beans, peas, cucumbers, tomatoes and canta loups are welcomed on eastern mar kets as luxuries to be paid for at lux ury prices. The produce grown in this section is now forced to actively compete with produce from many States in the Union and from foreign countries. All of the usual vegetables are now,, to be found iivany4arge city market at all times during the year. This condition is making it difficult for theaverage and below the aver age grower to make a living out of a business that formerly netted good sejtuciuv Without intending to find fault, I believe that all growers need an exact knowledge of the details that should be observed in growing and preparing each crop for1 market; and further than this the community and roeotioh should bear a reputation tor selling good produce and for .observ ing honest business methods. -The in-1 dividual grower standing alone, no matter how experienced, is working '4 under serious handicaps if his lot is placed, in a community where grow en and shippers are careless in ob serving the niceties of present day inarKet demands, xnrougn coopera tiye effort only, in the opinion of the wKter, "will the growers of highly perishable crops ever be able to sue cessfully meet the competition of the many- highly ..organized truck grow ing; and .marketing districts that are now scattered over the United States. : In referring to the changes to be expected during the next quarter of a century, a recent writer had the following to say: "There are those who think the day of the small grower is about ever. Those who hold this belief think that production in the near future will largely be under the con trol of large operators who can use labor-saving machinery and other means of reducing the cost of pro duction. "It is our opinion that we are passing into a period of the survival of the fittest; that the grower who can produce the best quality products most economically and can place them on the market to befit advant age and in the most attractive form will be the one who will survive, be he a large or a small operator." ' 1939 NEW YORK FAIR'S TWO MUE AMUSEMENT LOOP ' - mmmmm , , ? r (l rftc a v r "" 1111 mAmaixsjBi.A i NEW YORK (Special). "The 1939 New York World's Fair has planned to have the largest area and the greatest number and variety of amusements ever provided for any exposition in the world," announces Grover Whalen, President of the Fair Corporation, "but let it be under stood, too, that we are already assured of producing a fair that will be remembered for its bold treatment of today's problems and for its path finding to the World of Tomorrow." . The accompanying photograph shows the design of the Fair's two mile, 280-acre amusement tone at released at the time of Mr. Whalen's announcement The sector is being laid out with a greater visitor capacity than that of any amusement park in the world. Following an entirely new pattern that lends itself to the development of new and novel amusement and entertainment features, the sector is featured by the two-mile looped thoroughfare, flanked on one side by a continuous facade 70 feet high and on the other by thje more open and landscaped area extending to the east shore of Meadow Lake. The upper end of the lake-shore region will be dominated by a $1,600,000 State amphitheatre with a marine stage for presentation of aquatic shows, operas, pageants and extravaganzas of all sorts. On the far side of the lake, as sketched, will be every conceivable kind of show, spectacle, device, ride, and eating place. A Banquet of 1468 In 1468 two British statesmen were hosts at a banquet which must have hit an all-time high for lavish feasts. An ancient cook book that is a prized possession of Harvard Uni versity's Widener library records that the following was consumed: Six thousand animals, 500 fish, 31, 000 birds, 6,000 jelly dishes, 6,000 custards, 2,000 pies and 400 barrels of ale and wine.
